IMPROVEMENT IN EXTENSION TABLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. i37,9l"4, dated April 15,1873 application iiled t February 8,1873. c

To all whom it may concern:

I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved table with the fall-leaves partially eX- tended on one side and closed on the other. Fig. 2 is a plan in elevation of the extension bracket and leg attached. Fig. 3 is a topplan view of the extel'lsion bracket, showing the brace.

Like letters refer to like parts in each iigure. A

The nature of this invention relates to the construction of what are usually denominated all-leaftables, so arranged as to present nearly all the advantages of an extension table, and at much less expense. The invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement ci' the various parts, as more fully hereinafter expressed.

In the accompanying drawing, A represents a table, and B the top thereof, of the usual construction. To each side of this top B is hinged a fallleaf, G, in the usual manner. To the outer edges of these fall-leaves C are so hinged other leaves, D, that they will fold inwardly and under the tall-leaves O. E is an extension bracket, hinged at one end to each l side of the table-frame and under the edges of the sides `of the top, so that the said bracket may be opened and stand at right angles with the same are opened. When this is done the leaves D will hang in a vertical position against the leg F, which supports the outer end of the bracket. y

Should it be desired to make the table-top larger still,the leaves D are elevated to the horizontal plane of the top. In order to sustain them in their position, the bracket is made in two pieces, a b, so arranged and constructed that one will slide within the other in any desired and convenient manner. Pret'- erably, they may be made to so slide as in the ordinary extension-table supports.

In order to render the leaves D more firm, a brace, Gr, is so constructed and attached `to the part a of the bracket that When the same is extended the brace may be extended at right angles therewith, forming an additional support to such outer leaves When extended.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The extension bracket E, provided with 2. The arrangement ofthe table A with the leaves C D and bracket E, constructed and combined to operate substantially as and for the purposes described.
